Chapter 122: I can do it!

Chapter 122: I can do it!

After comforting Naomi, who couldn't get comfort from her boyfriend, Isao went to Kyoko before he prepared for his mission to go to the dam. Even though it might take a while, he had prepared, and he was sure to lead everyone to a better future.

He had to return alive!

Isao thought that he was amazing for being able to say those words even though nothing could kill him except for a nuclear bomb in this world.

Or, rather, even a nuclear bomb might not be able to kill him.

The only way to kill him was to throw him out of space, he thought.

However, as he was ready to go out after he comforted Kyoko, he heard a commotion.

"DON'T CAUSE A TROUBLE ANYMORE! HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO BECOME A KID?! JUST LEAVE! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU!"

Saya's loud voice echoed through the estate as she released all of her emotions.

Even those who knew nothing could tell that Saya was so furious at this moment.

Isao, who walked out, also saw this and understood why Saya was so angry.

Takashi Komuro.

Isao almost forgot about this guy, but then he remembered that the reason why Souichiro was bitten was because Souichiro tried to save Takashi.

Still, if someone thought that Saya's reaction was too exaggerated, then one would be wrong, especially if they learned that Takashi, Hirano, and Takezo were running away, causing all of those "things" to be able to enter the estate.

In other words, the three couldn't escape from the responsibility of killing Souichiro, especially when they were watching over the gate, yet in the end, they were running away, letting those "things" ravage the estate.

Isao knew all of that, and this also made him wonder how those three dared to show themselves in front of Saya, who was the daughter of Souichiro.

"What's happening to Saya?"

Isao turned and saw Yuriko was there too, seemingly attracted by Saya's voice.

"Shh..."

Isao gestured for her to keep quiet and said, "Let her release all of her emotions first."

"Okay." Yuriko nodded since she knew that Saya needed a place, a trash can, where she could release all of her bottled-up emotions. After all, unlike her, who could get the help of Isao, her daughter was different.

Nevertheless, due to their relationship, Yuriko became hesitant to send Isao to her daughter and made him her son-in-law.

However, with her age, she knew that she couldn't marry him, a young man who was about the same age as her daughter. Moreover, her husband had just passed away, so how could she do something such as marry Isao?

In other words, the only way for Isao to be with the Takagi family was to become a son-in-law!

Still, Yuriko followed Isao's words obediently and hid behind his back while pressing her body against his.

"...hey."

Even though Isao had calmed down after he comforted so many frightening women, if Yuriko asked for another comfort, he knew that he had to work even harder!

"Shh... let's be quiet," Yuriko said with a cute smile.

"..."

Could he even listen to their conversation when Yuriko whispered and blew hot air into his ear?

"Fo-Food?"

"Yes." Yuriko nodded. "Everyone is in need of food. Try to gather them as much as you can. You want to be in use, right? So try to gather those foods so you can be of help to everyone."

"....."

Takashi hesitated to get food; it meant that he would have to get out by himself, which frightened him, especially when he wouldn't be with Isao. This was the real point, and he didn't want this, but when he wanted to say something, Yuriko left and talked with the survivors to take care of the daily matters.

"What? You can't do it?" Saya looked at Takashi with a snort.

"I-I can do it!" Takashi answered firmly. "But give me a weapon or two!"

Saya rolled her eyes and left directly.

"He-Hey! I'm not done with my talk!"

Yet, the men under Saya's father stopped Takashi and said, "If you can't do it, then just stay on the corner instead of barking like a puppy."

"Well, a kid is a kid, after all."

"You are right."

As they laughed, Takashi frowned and said, "I will do it! I will get food without your help!" Still, he turned and looked at Hirano and Takezo. "Hirano! Takezo! Let's do it!"

"...." 2x

On the other hand, Saya came to her mother and asked, "Aren't you angry, Mama?"

"I am angry, of course." Yuriko smiled sweetly, yet her eyes were so cold. "But I won't kill them. I will make them a slave who will work until they lose their value and die by themselves."

When Yuriko saw what kind of a young man Takashi was, she felt an intense hatred, thinking that her husband had died wrongly. After all, such a young man should have died instead of her husband!

However, if this didn't happen, would she be with Isao?

So, while feeling complicated, Yuriko gave Takashi mercy and let Takashi work instead of dying.

Merciful, right?

"Learn hard, Saya. Don't let emotions control you. Use everyone well, and make them work hard for you like a dog."

"Yes." Saya nodded with determination.

The world was like this.

If they couldn't be tough, then they would be the ones who were devoured.

Only Isao, who listened carefully, had his lips twitched before he let out a long sigh, thinking that as a simple and innocent young man, he was glad to have Yuriko and Saya as his lovers instead of enemies.

Still, as he was ready to go on the expedition, someone unexpected came.

"Isao-kun, can I come with you too?"

Shizuka came with a silly smile as she made that request.

---

It is almost over soon, by the way.

As for Takashi, well, his fate is gone, disappear.
